Molor Chechki

Molor chechki (Radish dry fry curry)



Vegetables play an important role in organising a wholesome meal , molor chechki is one such interesting way to prepare Radish in a genuine Bengali way , its finely grated or in Hindi using Kaddokas , Grate them .We like eating this dish with warm cooked rice , although it is better with the white long radish found in India ,not the small reddish Radish of US which I must admit looks so cute .Grated radish is tempered with mustard seeds,turmeric powder, and cooked at low to perfection ..

here is the radish from kitchen Garden

Molor Chechki(Radish dry curry)
4-5 radish
1tsp of mustard seeds
3-4 green chillies
½ tsp of turmeric powder
Salt as per taste
Sugar pinch of
Cooking oil 2-4 tbs
Fresh chopped coriander leaves
Method
Wash Radish in water , grate them or Kaddokas ker lein..
Heat a kadai, add oil ,add mustard seeds and let it pop up.
Then add grated radish ,turmeric powder ,salt ,slit green chillies in between and add them too , cover and cook at low for 7-8 mints.
Add sugar now and if there is still some juice left cook at high till the juice evaporates stiring continuously.
Add fresh chopped corrinader…
Serve with Rice.

  9. Hi Jaya! I just saw the comment you left on my blog was back in Oct '06 and found you through that! I'm sorry I missed seeing it before this. I think the alerts failed somewhere.

    Congrats on your blog - a little late - but heartfelt nevertheless!

    Your radish look really good and the molor chechki sounds a lot like what we make, too! Do you use the leaves or do you discard them? We use both the leaves and the mooli in this dish. I'm adding you to my RSS feeds so that I don't miss your posts or comments again!
